Business Idea....

I've just been asked to put together a website for a buddy of mine. A really basic site as he is just starting up a shotokan karate dojo. Kind of neat...but it got me thinking.

Steve has absolutely ZERO knowledge in setting up a website. But, he already purchased his domain name and things are moving along.

I've never come across a back-end administration tool that will allow a non-technically savvy person to update and edit their existing page data just as it appears in the current website.

Sort of like going from the non-editable version of a page directly to an editable version by maybe adding a &admin=true&password=blahblahblah. Not only that, but allowing them to add/edit/delete pictures and other multimedia, etc.

If there is such a program, please let me know. Otherwise, this could be a surefire solution for a lot of webmasters and non-technical website owners to update their website efficiently.

Oh, and I just got the new HBR. Centennial Special Edition...sweet.

I would suggest using a CMS like Drupal or Joomla. Failing that Blogger would cover most needs...

Thank you for the insight. Someone else suggested a Content Management System. Does it do version control? Eh, I'll look into it. Technology seems to evolve from under one's own feet if you stand still long enough.
